Haha!
That is funny.
We had a lecture only a few weeks ago from Andy Nyman. He co-writes and comes up with stuff with Derren, and erm... I have to admit it, he didn't use NLP.
NLP is good for self help and supposedly helping others, but they are effects that can be read in a book, and when practised well, be done just the same. Someone said the trick Derren did to Stephen Fry was NLP, and he made him think of the King o' Diamonds..... yep, if NLP is also known as John Kennedy, then he did

The same guy paid £400 for a masters course in NLP in London, and still couldn't make people think of the King o Diamonds!!

Although he did learn a few things
You want to learn some Derren Brown effects or get closer the mind of Derren... buy Pure Effect. Its full of his humour and smugness, but please buy the real copy, don't rip him off, and get the e-book. I can also recommend Get Nyman, for some more Mentalism effects, a funny dvd with Ali Cook and Pete Firman starring alongside Andy Nyman. It also has a great segment on spectator selection.
Magic is an art that takes years to master, and as long as people who study magic realise that, then let the folks who think they can buy this £20 piece of c*** (not the best) and take the short route... let them waste their money, they'll learn... the hard way.
Just my rants and opinions.....
P.S How much would I get for a signed copy of magicseen? Signed by Nyman.... and his daughter
